Gloria, again - I didn't properly introduce myself the last time, I feel like a dork

Honor. If you require a more simplistic response, my favored possession is my sword.

[titaniumsinging]

Oh, ideas are fine, too - between the two of them, why, exactly? Are you a - 'knight' might not apply, but do you know what I mean?

[Closer to samurai if he had the term to make the comparison to. He's a bit older than that.]

I am one of the shitennou - a warrior.

Really? What are you involved in, right now? I guess I mean, is it peace time or not?

I'd have to agree that life would be a lot uglier without coffee. At my age I'm not sure I could maintain the schedule my work demands anymore without it.

That said, my chosen work as a vigilante is what drives me, what keeps me going and what keeps me from going insane.

You're a vigilante? Wow, I'm getting a lot of responses (two, I guess) from people in the martial professions. I'm glad it's satisfying to you.

The Nexus seems overrun with them, I've noticed. Satisfying may be too small a word. It's who I need to be to keep myself on the level. It's also why I'm too busy right now to come to the Nexus in person.

[titaniumsinging]

I know the feeling.

I mean the 'too busy to come to the nexus' feeling, not the 'vigilante' feeling. But I guess I also can get that, in a way. So there you go, that didn't make sense.

I guess...why do you do it, just the satisfaction?

The short answer is 'my mp3 player,' and there's no way to make that sound less shallow. Points for not saying 'air'?

[locked for an infinity of years]

[titaniumsinging]

Five! Points, I mean. And like coffee isn't shallow?

You said short answer - is there a long answer, or is that just one of those things people say?

[locked BEYOND SPACE AND TIME ...for reasons]

[topazblue]

Nah, coffee is only shallow when you go on for a while about your French press and your fresh ground Columbian beans and whatever else.

There's a multi-pronged answer, basically. I walk to work most of the time and I'm the bottom rung of my office so nine-tenths of my life is paperwork. An mp3 player is like a tiny sliver of staying sane, especially in the latter case.

Once my coffee maker exploded and I have to hide the stains behind a poster? It's a really nice poster.

Hahah, yeah, I know what you mean, and mine is just one of those tiiiiny little ones I'm losing every other day. Do you mind if I ask what you listen to? I'm trying to expand my music collection.

Coffee and nicotine ♥

[titaniumsinging]

Everybody runs on caffeine! I swear :)

Straight coffee, or with anything extra?

[riotouslaugh]

It's true, it's true, I think I like it. I know a lot of tea-drinkers, though! Why is this, I don't know, I think it's the British.

I like a little chocolate in it, maybe mint sometimes.

[titaniumsinging]

Are you in a British part of the world? (Slash universe?)

Mmm. Mint and coffee, really? I've never heard of that before.

[icecreamai]

My family. I know it sounds cheesy.

[titaniumsinging]

Not at all. What's your family like?

[icecreamai]

I have two brothers, one older, one younger, three sisters - one's my age the others young. And our guardian. It's pretty crazy, sometimes they annoy me, I annoy them, but I love them.

[titaniumsinging]

Aww. If I were mentioning C-day I'd say that warms the cockles of my heart, but as it is I'm just heartwarmed. That's a big family!
